Need IDs on these guys

I got all of these for free from a local guy and I don't know what type of acros they are. Some came in pieces that I glued onto plugs (you can tell which ones they are). Also, there's one I got at a frag swap for free that I don't know what it is either.

Here's 2 that I had to attach to a plug and to a shell

With this one

Looking at the coralites shape, structure, and density, (there are not many that have such poorly developed coralite structure) plus the overall shape of the coral gives us two possible candidates for this coral. The first is A. meridiana

The second ( and less likely) is A. inermis.

tell me what you think.
Then these

IMO are not developed enough to get a good ID on as they are lacking coralite development to support a positive ID. My advice on these would be to let them grow and repost them when they have developed a bit.
This one

Is in the same boat as the last two, however the coralites that have grown on the top lead me to hazard a guess that this is A. efflorescens.

All of the ID images from Vernon.
As for the rest it might take me a minute.
I hope what I have given you so far is of some help.
 
Thank you! They are starting to gain color now and the polyps are starting to extend. These were all browned in his tank so I'm guessing that's why I got them but either way, they are going to be nice once they color up some more. The first one you commented on is starting to turn green. One of the others is turning blue and the 3rd one I asked about is starting to turn neon green around the places where the polyps come out.
